Apocalypse: System of lotteries

Chapter 4, Day 1.

Ming prepared in the morning, after all, the rules were not conventional, the global randomness that was supposed to happen every 5 days might start on the first day, he was prepared and waiting for its move.

By the way, he let out the two giant eagles that Foodie had brought back, their feathers had been burnt to a crisp, turning them into vultures, no matter what, they had not deviated from the category of \'eagles\', their defense value had dropped to zero, it was a miracle they had not died.

"Go on~ Find your master, you know the way home, right?"

Ming nudged the two \'vultures\' with his foot, they were quite plump, then, the two vultures flapped their meaty wings, and trotted down the mountain... yeah, without their feathers, they were no different from free-range chickens, just a bit bigger.

"Heh~"

Ming sat on the edge of the mountaintop, watching the two \'free-range chickens\' disappear at the foot of the mountain, they ran quite fast~

Then, he opened the holographic screen, chose Zone 1521, and went back to his second home through the portal, he was quite worried about Russel, someone like him would certainly not have any advantage if he got randomized.

"Huh?"

Ming found that Russel was not there, he immediately opened the holographic screen, chose Russel\'s map, walked into the portal, and arrived at the bat cave, finding Russell hanging at the cave entrance.

"Ah~"

All he heard was a long sigh from the latter, "Ah~ Maybe this is fate, when it was midnight, I was automatically teleported back here, maybe, I am just a BUG in this world."

"~"

Ming silently sat down at the entrance of the cave, not saying anything.

That\'s not right, was Russel set to be locked here for the rest of his life?

Or is there really a BUG in this world?

A BUG, can be exploited, but how to exploit this one?

"You don\'t have to worry about me, I plan to grow old alone here, by the way, didn\'t you say you have a lot of businesses, just find me a place to eat, I\'m quite good at guarding the night, as long as someone talks to me, isn\'t it strange that I can understand what your pets are saying, and they can understand me when I speak too~"

"Hmm."

Ming nodded.

[Global broadcast, begin global random allocation into the Fallen Zone.]

[Isn\'t it surprising, once every 5 days, so the first time must start on the first day.]

[Now entering randomization, please all survivors be prepared, you have 5 seconds.]

[Countdown: 1.]

[Start.]

Hum~

A monitor-sized light screen lit up in front of Ming, at this moment, everyone in the world was in the same state.

Ming looked up at Russel and found that no screen had appeared in front of him.

This!!

"Didn\'t you hear any sound?"

"No, what sound was there?"

Suddenly asked this, Russel immediately raised his head and listened around, "Without exaggerating, I can tell you that my ears are very sensitive, if there is any sound, I can hear it, but, the sound you just mentioned, I didn\'t hear it at all."

"Ah~ maybe I was hallucinating then."

Ming looked at the light screen in front of him, then at the unaffected Russell. He understood that Russel was indeed a BUG.

At this moment, the light screen in front of him was flashing with text.

[Before entering the Fallen Zone, would you like to spend 10,000 gold coins to choose your area?]

[Yes/No]

"No~"

Ming didn\'t want to spend money, this was clearly a trap.

[Congratulations, you have been successfully matched to—the City of Pharaohs.]

[You can make the following choices:]

[Spend 10,000 gold coins to unlock a detailed area map]

"~"

Ming thought for a while, according to this choice, the map of that area should be in a \'blackout\' state.

If the details are unlocked, it should be possible to see the entire area\'s terrain and environment in the light screen map after entering the area.

10,000 gold coins, not much, entering for the first time, having a detailed map could be considered as being prepared for any situation.

"Yes~"

Choose to unlock, and consume 10,000 gold coins.

[Congratulations on unlocking the detailed area map feature.]

[Spend 10,000 gold coins to unlock the BOSS coordinates]

Seeing this, Ming felt that he had been duped... there were actually no BOSS coordinates in the map details! He still had to continue unlocking!

This... one ring buckles another, all set up to get his money, right?

"No!"

[Unfortunately, you did not purchase the feature.]

[Spend 10,000 gold coins to unlock the coordinates of resource points (yes/no)]

"No~"

He decisively refused. It was better to explore by himself, why spend this unjustified money?

[What a pity, you passed up again.]

[Kind reminder, please check your mission after entering the area.]

[Waiting for others to make a choice, countdown 30 seconds.]

[...]

[Waiting... countdown 11 seconds.]

[...]

[Countdown ends, teleporting.]

"Russel, I have to go first. I\'ve left you some food. When I\'m done with my business, I\'ll take you to the prairie for a visit."

"Okay~ Be careful."

"Don\'t worry~"

A hum~

A white light descended and Ming disappeared. When he opened his eyes again, a heat wave hit him. In front of him was an endless sand dune, and the dry air made breathing feel hot.

[Your frog kids peeked out of the pocket, looked at the yellow sand all over the ground, and retracted into the pocket. This kind of place is not suitable for traveling, it\'s easy to get dehydrated~ They suggest you go home~]

"I wish I could."

Ming smiled and opened the screen to check the map, to see the map details he had purchased for 10,000 gold coins. After checking, he found that the map was rectangular, and the southeast corner of the rectangle showed a river. There was a dense group of buildings on both sides of the river.

After confirming the direction, he headed southeast and checked the task progress at the same time:

[Congratulations on entering the City of the Pharaoh, this is destined to be a happy trip.]

[After 72 hours, you will be automatically teleported out of this place. There are no special task requirements. Adhering to the principles of fairness, justice, and openness, there is no deception in the above.]

[Good luck!]

"~~"

After reading the task progress, Ming felt a bit incredible. There was no task, and it indeed seemed like a trip... Would the rules be so nice?

Sniff sniff~

The smell of humans and pigs.

[Your foodie peeked out, ran over when it saw a big pink pig and rushed out of the pocket. "Little Pink, we meet again! How did you grow so big? But you\'re still so pretty... Little Pink is very happy to see a friend and is even happier to be complimented. It lowered its head and nudged the foodie with its snout~]

[Da Vinci told Merlin that this was a friend they knew before, named Little Pink. Look, the foodie is taking advantage of others shamelessly again. Watch me teach it a lesson~]

[Merlin retracted into the pocket. It knows Da Vinci\'s character too well.]

Ming and Lavia passed by each other, looking at each other when they met. Ming laughed and said, "Your Little Pink has gained weight again."

Lavia laughed, "She\'s been eating a bit too much recently."

[foodie rubbed Little Pink\'s belly and looked at Da Vinci, you see, Little Pink\'s meat is even firmer than our family\'s koi... Da Vinci slapped foodie, I haven\'t touched your koi yet~]

[foodie nodded, then I can rest assured~]
